all that agree to the license, but no modification, redistribution, or
compiling).

I wonder how long it will take them pull a SCO and file a lawsuit
against the Mono developers on the grounds of oh-so-similar code
(after all, Miguel de Icaza and co. don't have the means to verify
that a contributor *hasn't* taken a peek at the .NET source).
